About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

If youre looking for a high-performance dryer at a low cost, the Professional Lightweight Hair Dryer may be the perfect match for you

If youre looking for a high-performance dryer at a low cost, the Professional Lightweight Hair Dryer may be the perfect match for you. Our top pick for a budget dryer was also the easiest to use in our test, garnering great scores from our lab testing and rave reviews from consumer testers. It was very easy to work and had a lot of power," one volunteer said. Others commented on its "gentle airflow" and "good amount of heat." While one consumer tester thought the Professional "seemed flimsy," most were thrilled with how comfortable this lightweight hair dryer was to hold. It took longer to dry strands in our lab tests, but our volunteers were generally happy with the Professional's power and speed.
